Chem7 - Acids and Bases Flashcards
for a titration of a strong acid w/ weak base youd need an indicator functioning at pH:
7
what is the Kw for water at STP?
10-14
how many protons are removed after 3 equivalence points
3
high pKa means
weak acid
low pKa means
MORE acidic
how does the addition of oxygens to a molecule affect pKa/acidity?
pKa decreased and acidity INCREASED
what is a bronstead-lowry acid?
proton DONOR
what is a bronstead-lowry base?
proton ACCEPTOR
at the half equivalence point pH is equal to
pKa
what is the equation for Ka?
[H+][A-]/[HA]
what is an arrhenius acid/base?
releases H+/releases OH-
pKa=
NAME?
the maximum buffering capacity of a solution is when
[base]=[acid]
what is the henderson hasselbach equation?
ph=pka+log(base/acid)
